From the Metrodome
A busy day here in Minnesota and from my first glance, the Metrodome isn't as bad as I've heard it is. It's not your typical new ballpark with every new amenity, but to me, there's a lot of character here which is what you want in your yard. I'm glad we got to see it before the new one opens up in a few years.
We arrived last night at about 11:30 local time and were in the hotel shortly after midnight. I cranked out the game notes in the morning and then Scott Akasaki, our team travel manager, and I headed to the Mall of America. After all, while I'm sure there's plenty more to do in Minneapolis, I'm not exactly sure what it is. Maybe we've got some blog readers out there with recommendations.
Ironically, we arrived at the Mall around noon and saw a huge crowd gathering in the middle of one plaza. Sure enough, it was part of the citywide celebration of the 1965 World Series anniversary. Yes, we went all the way across the country and stumbled upon an autograph session by Willie Davis and "Sweet" Lou Johnson, two guys who are in our offices on a daily basis. Those two will join several former Twins in a pregame ceremony tonight here at the ballpark.
As for the Mall, it is pretty impressive in size and has just about every single store you've ever seen in any mall. The amusement park and underground aquarium were a nice touch, though we didn't visit either of them with our limited time.
Another nice thing about this city that we've found so far is the public transportation. We took the train to the Metrodome, though it absolutely started pouring on Scott, myself and A Martinez as soon as we got out. But we're now dry and under the dome for the next six hours or so and hoping to keep this win streak going.
Here's today's lineup and a final thought:
Furcal, SS (got 1,000th hit yesterday)
Lofton, CF
Garciaparra, 1B (hit 200th homer yesterday)
Drew, DH
Kent, 2B
Ethier, LF
Kemp, RF
Izturis, 3B
Martin, C
Billingsley, P
Read in today's USA Today that the CEO of Sun Microsystems, Jonathan Schwartz is doing a blog and that more CEOs could follow suit. I think this is a good step for big business all around the country and so far I think the Dodger organization has been glad that we've been able to communicate directly with our fans through this avenue.

While in Minneapolis, check out the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices… if it's still open. (I did hear a rumor that it closed.) It features all of the crazy, quacky gimmicks that were promised to lead to better health… I particularly remember many of the phrenology tools… and for the ladies, the foot-pump breast enlarger. Ouch.
Wow, just read the MailBag on the web site and I sure hope the Dodgers have enough sense to sign Nomar now and not wait !! Kent is signed through next year but he figures to stay at second. Nomar can play the entire infield and I'll bet the outfield as well. This guy is why we're in first place and has the tools to last. Sign him now while he's as cheap as he can be. Looney wasn't as impressive to me when I saw him in Spring Training and again during his call up. I'd use him as trade bait !!
Keep the Streak Going !!
Go Dodgers !!
Thanks for posting the lineup so early every day. I don't remember a time when I was actually so excited to see who the Dodgers were going to play. One question: Why in the world is Martin batting 8th (or, today , 9th)? He could be a great number 2 hitter. At the very least, he should be batting ahead of Martinez or Izturis or whatever light-hitting middle-infielder is in the lineup….
i think they bat martin 8th so that he doesnt feel pressure to hit and he can focus on his catching. im not sure about nomar. loney is the same exact player with more power potential. he is hitting close to .400 in the minors. 10 million is quite a high price to pay for nomar. he is playing great now, but man did he screw the cubs when he got a big multi-year package from them.
I too think it's impressive that the line-ups are posted early day in and day out,it's exciting trying to figure out who Grady is gonna give the nod to, which speaks volumes about our depth. I would have liked to have seen Cesar hitting ninth but, in the AL that's like having another leadoff hitter, however it does spread our line-up out well, alot of lefty then righty, and vice versa which can be misery on a pitcher and a coach. In the late innings it's hard to use that situational lefty when there isn't a spot in the lineup where u see 2 or 3 in a row. I hope our running/speed game is at full throttle this series, u pick up a step on this surface as(opposed to grass), so guys like Furcal,Lofton, and Kemp should be rollin.
I got something for u to do in Minny, watch some tape on Liriano and Johan, just kidding. But I can't wait for tonight,let alone going against two of the best lefties in the game tue and wed.
On a side note I just would like to tell some of u fans who are like me trying to catch the game on the radio or computer, there's a little package u can order and watch LA play on most nights. For example, contrary to my wife's wishes I will be watching each game in Minny, hopefully with Vin calling them. In my worthless opinion it's worth it.
Keep that streak alive!!!!
great, great read Josh (USA Today) Kudos
Hey Josh,
What about Frank McCourt and a blog?
Wow, just read the MailBag on the web site and I sure hope the Dodgers have enough sense to sign Nomar now and not wait !! Kent is signed through next year but he figures to stay at second.

Im with you
I really hope they sign NOMAR ….
he has been clutch…when hes up to bat he gets on.. always gives great at bats ….and his glove is great!
Please Dodgers dont let him get away …PLEASE!!!
For those of u not able to watch the game: Hunter missed a Grand Slam by feet, then grounded into a dp. All flyball outs for their sinkerball pitcher, not good for Twins. Looks like our offense has shown up to the Metrodome, now we gotta get the kid to throw strikes. Let's go Dodgers!!!!! 1-1 2nd Inn.
It's so easy to manage from home. However, I do think Billingsley needed a full season at AAA to improve on location. Even there he threw too many pitches and did not pitch deep into games. Edwin Jackson keeps popping up in my head. Seems like this game is not going well with walks and hit batsman. Sets the table for the sluggers.
Better take Chad out and go with Odalis. See what he can do if given the opportunity. No pressure pitching from behind. The talent still has to be there.
They just took Chad out and that Grady is some special guy !! He is really taking care of his kids !! No matter what happens he wants his guys to know everything is OK !! It's Kuo time !!
Go Dodgers !!!
The Twins don't deserve Mauer !! He's GOOD !! 2 to 6 now, we need to get it going !
GO Dodgers!!
Big league hitters hit fastballs, and that's all Kuo is throwing.Chad has come precisely as advertised, godd fastball and breaking ball. High pitch counts due to command problems should be a concern, especially with the inconsistent pen. He need's a bit more seasoning, but the kid's got grit. Tonight's loss would be tough because they have a couple of studs coming up, but we have hit lefties well this year. Go Dodgers!
Lefty-right splits mean something if you are dealing with average hitters. I was hoping Grady learned that when he had Ethier play Saturday, but apparently not.
* Joe Mauer is leading baseball in BA.
* Johan Santana is a Cy Young winner.
* Francisco Liriano outdueled Roger Clemens, and mark my words, he will be the 2006 the AL Rookie of the Year.
Billingsley was having an off night with control, and I'd be curious to see what his velocity was hitting. I think he's used to having an overpowering fastball, and I know in his last outing his velocity was way down, topping out at like 91. My guess is he was overthrowing to compensate.
Any truth to the rumor that the Dodgers have traded Navarro for Mark Hendrickson of the Devil Rays?
June 27th – I just read in the Los Angeles times that the creator of the Dodger Dog passed away. Will the Dodgers be doing anything to commemorate him or am I so far behind the curve that this has already happened?

The Option of Silence
There are times when a team is inseparable from its broadcaster. Think Jack Buck. Ernie Harwell. Phil Rizzuto. Those golden voices had the rare ability to know when to shut up and when to comment, when to add something to the game and when to let the game be the game.
The truth is: baseball doesn't need commentary.
Sure, it's helpful at times and yes, I would be a liar if I didn't admit getting a kick out of the "OUTTA HERE"s, the "JIMMY JACK"s and "OPPO TACO"s. Baseball, at its root, is game of great sounds: PA announcers and bat cracks and balls slamming mitts. But more often than not, I find myself at great odds with the voices who are currently mucking up my baseball game on television watching experiences.
The White Sox, in particular, harbor the most egregious of all audio-felons. I mean, Hawk Harrelson's commentary is almost entirely made up of stupid catchphrases that he donned eons ago. And while they may have been cute back then, they are nothing short of annoying now.
Hawk is certainly not alone. There are countless other offenders. Michael Kay. Rod Allen. Bert Blyleven. I have nothing against them, personally, but often the commentary they provide is as mindless as it is boring, and I would like the option to shut them up.
Because MUTE ain't the answer.
I want to hear the ump's calls. I want to hear the beer guy in section 113. I want to hear the crowd roar on a go-ahead RBI double.
Back in 2009, SNY — a station that, ironically, has one of the better broadcasting teams in baseball — experimented with something they called "The Silent Sixth", where they did just that: they shut up. Silence. No talking. But they cranked up the sound on the field mics and I can attest: it was a true thing of beauty. Soon I found myself tuning into lots of Mets games come the sixth inning, enjoying the pure sounds of the game the way they were meant to be enjoyed before egocentric legacy hunters and no-limit-in-yer-face advertising began trashing the game (seriously, does every bullpen move have to be sponsored by Domino's?).
In this era of technocracy, where I can watch every single baseball game on my television, my computer AND my phone, where I can choose which broadcast I want to listen to WHENEVER I want, one would think that providing the option for silence would not be asking too much.
Baseball titans (King Bud, Joe Torre, whoevs), do me a favor and git 'er done.
And don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Some people find Picoult's novels to be increasingly formulaic and predictable, as she seems to crank out a new one every year. I actually tend to stick up for her novels, saying that she does deal with thought-provoking issues and is an expert at capturing differing points of view. So even though I am an avid Picoult fan, this latest book was rather a disappointment for me. To be honest the book fell flat and was not convincing, believable, or developed enough, except for the flashback Holocaust section in the middle which was well done.
Although Picoult's theme in 'The Storyteller' purports to be about mercy and forgiveness, I found the way that those were manifested in the ending of the story to be flawed. What she says about forgiveness is true: "forgiveness isn't something you do for someone, it's something you do for yourself." But how the main character decides to forgive left me cold. I knew from an interview with the author that there was a big twist coming at the end and when I got there I realized I had predicted it long ago, so even in that…no cigar. Unfortunately I can't be more specific about my issues with this novel, because I would have to include spoilers. I also found the gothic tale that runs alongside the main story to be awkward and unhelpful.
Sage Singer has secrets and is troubled and scarred both physically and emotionally. She becomes a baker, not so much because that profession runs in her family and she is good at it, but because it allows her to hide in the daytime and work at night. Sage befriends an old man who has dark secrets of his own and at the same time she learns that her grandmother is a survivor in more ways than one. The number tattooed on her grandmother's forearm is a left over from Auschwitz.
By the way, the first printing of this book has the inside cover inscribed with many names and before I read the dedication at the front of the book, I had assumed it was a list of those those whose lives were lost in concentration camps. That would have been meaningful considering the topic of the book. They actually are names of her UK fans, probably one of the reasons the book is flying off the shelves here. Unfortunately that smacks of a publisher trying to boost sales and didn't quite sit right with me in the context of a weighty subject like the tragedies of the second world war.
Her next one will be about elephants and grief and I am looking forward to reading it.

Thanks to a link supplied by Alice Linsley over at Just Genesis, I've discovered what I find an absolutely fascinating blog devoted mostly to the subject of the Star of Bethlehem. Although I will summarize one of the articles here, I recommend you read the whole thing for a wealth of explanatory details.
It's written by Rick Larson. First, Larson identifies nine characteristics of the Star we can glean from the biblical narrative:
1. The heavenly phenomenon the Wise Men saw must have had some association with birth.
2. It must somehow signify kingship.
3. It must show a connection with the Jewish tribe of Judah (and prophecies of the Jewish Messiah).
4. It must rise in the east and set in the West.
5. It must appear at a precise, identifiable time.
6. It must be a heavenly happening not immediately obvious to everybody, but only to experts. (Herod was unaware of any great celestial portent).
7. The phenomenon must take place over a span of time sufficient for the Magi to see it both from the East and upon their arrival in Jerusalem.
8. It must have appeared ahead of the Magi as they journeyed toward Bethlehem.
9. It must have stopped when the Magi reached Bethlehem.
Rick Larson describes a heavenly phenomenon (actually a combination of astronomical events) accounting, he believes, for all these biblical data.
In September of the year B.C. 3 (which I shall write from now on as -3), The planet Jupiter came into conjunction with the Star Regulus. Read the article for further discussion of why the year -3 was important; it has to do with the probability that Herod died in -1. Larson also discusses in detail why both Jupiter and Regulus were associated, in ancient times, with kingship.
Jupiter passes Regulus, well, regularly, every 12 years, so this is nothing unusual. That it should come into conjunction with Regulus (appearing, to the naked eye, to touch the star) was a bit more unusual, and would certainly have been noted by ancient astronomers (Magi). But it was what happened next that really grabbed their attention. Jupiter passed on by Regulus, leaving it behind, but then it entered into retrograde, meaning that because of our planet's movement, Jupiter appeared to be moving backward. So backward it moved, and came into conjunction with Regulus a second time. And then Jupiter went forward again, leaving Regulus behind a second time, and then it went into retrograde again and formed a third conjunction with Regulus! It appeared that Jupiter was dancing around Regulus, forming a sort of halo, or crown. This triple conjunction of the King Planet with the King Star would have given our wise men the notion that a king was being announced.
There's more. All this began on or about the Jewish New Year. And it all took place (over months, of course) in the constellation Leo. And guess what Leo, the lion, was associated with? You guessed it: with Judah, whose symbol was and is the lion. In fact, from the east where the wise men were, as they observed these conjunctions, they were facing Judea. This bright conjunction was setting over Judea. It made sense to the ancient star-gazers that a king of Judea was being announced in the skies.
Next constellation over from Leo was, guess what? Virgo. The Virgin. And things were so positioned then (September of -3) that at the "feet" of the Virgin lay a new moon, which over the succeeding days was "born" into crescent moon, then a quarter moon, and so forth. Remember the pregnant Woman clothed with the Sun, with the moon at her feet? Right.
Skip forward nine months, on the theory that all the foregoing announced a royal conception and nine months later comes the birth. We're now in June of -2. Rick Larson tells it better than I can:
Jupiter had finished crowning Regulus. The Planet of Kings traveled on through the star field toward another spectacular rendezvous, this time with Venus, the Mother Planet. This conjunction was so close and so bright that it is today displayed in hundreds of planetaria around the world by scientists who may know nothing of Messiah. They do it because what Jupiter did makes such a great planetarium show. Jupiter appeared to join Venus. The planets could not be distinguished with the naked eye. If our magus had had a telescope, he could have seen that the planets sat one atop the other, like a figure eight. Each contributed its full brightness to what became the most brilliant star our man had ever seen. Jupiter completed this step of the starry dance as it was setting in the west. That evening, our Babylonian magus would have seen the spectacle of his career while facing toward Judea.The idea then, is that the September -3 events correlate with the conception of the mysterious King of the Jews, while the June -2 display announced His birth.
No one alive had ever seen such a conjunction. If the Magi only began their travel plans in September, when they saw this sight nine months later, someone may have shouted "What are we waiting for? Mount up!"
Some months later (presumably) the Magi arrived first in Jerusalem, the logical place to inquire where the King of the Jews had been born. Herod sent them on to Bethlehem because the Scriptures said that was where Messiah would be born.
We don't know how long it took the Magi to arrive in Jerusalem, but we do know that in December of -2, if you were traveling from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus would have been ahead of you.
And then:
On December 25 of 2 BC as it entered retrograde, Jupiter reached full stop in its travel through the fixed stars. Magi viewing from Jerusalem would have seen it stopped in the sky above the little town of Bethlehem.
(The December 25 date is interesting, but by this theory Jesus would have been some 6 months old by then.)
Now I find this theory awe-inspiring and fun and to me, it seems to give scientific corroboration; it tells us the Star of Bethlehem wasn't just some non-credible myth. This, even though we would never read into the stars what the ancient Magi did. So I rejoice to have found this information.
Demetrios, on the other hand, thinks we ought not to seek natural explanations for supernatural events. He says this theory contradicts "Orthodox theology", which says the Star was an angel.
I think the angel bit is not theology proper, but a pious opinion.
We both agree that matters of faith do not require scientific confirmation. I think it's always nice to have it, though.
If you read the article, I'll be very interested in your point of view.
There are some companion articles in the same blog, one of which is about the heavenly and earthly occurrences that happened on the day of the Crucifixion. It's very interesting, too.
Oh, and while I'm recommending things, check out this very good article by Fr. Andrew Damick on people who are "spiritual but not religious."
UPDATE: Dr. Patrick Fodor has graciously provided a link you can use to see all these stellar movements in animation.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are guests for the hour on "Piers Morgan Tonight" in their first sit-down ever as a couple. They talk in great detail about their DNA Foundation and "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign against sex trafficking. But they also talked about their career and their marriage. "As marriage goes, I think most people set getting married as the goal, as opposed to being married, which is a different thing," Kutcher told Piers Morgan, saying it's important to "[work] on it when it's good."
They also discussed how their "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign helps their marriage.
"We know that what the main goal is, the big goal is, is to transform the quality of life for people," said Kutcher. Moore added: "And in doing so it does that for us."
Piers asked if Kutcher is romantic and Moore said ye: "I have post-it notes placed in various locations all with messages of encouragement or love or just thought. Some have been there seven years."
See the full interview at 9pmET/PT tonight – and stay tuned for another clip from the show, where the couple discuss their emotional campaign against sex trafficking.
As mothers we need to make sure we teach our boys to respect women so they grow up to one of those "Real Men" Demi and Ashton are referring to. I have toddler boys and is never to early to talk to them about how to respect other and women. Hopefully this can affect the generations to come because 63% of human trafficking in US is unacceptable.
Demi needs to STFU.. she had to have the first word, the last word and constantly had to REPEAT what someone else had already said. She loves attention and hear herself talk. PLEASE! As far as her looking younger as she grows older... Its called LOTS AND LOTS OF "DENTAL WORK" . Face it Demi... no amount of Plastic Surgery to include your eye lifts are making you look younger .. it makes u look PLASTIC. I see why Ashton lis looking elsewhere. He looks like your son.
CORRECTION...RE: Face it Demi... no amount of Plastic Surgery to include your eye lifts are NOT making you look younger ..its making you look PLASTIC and SURGICALLY altered. And stop interrupting others, including your "husband" when he is speaking.... just to repeat what they were saying. You are not his mother, just becoz you look like it. I hope if u r going to continue making appearances about this idea... Just to keep an eye on your husband... then listen to yourself and know WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE. SO I WILL TOO REPEAT..... STFU! You need a script to be interesting and since u cant get scripts any longer, I can see why u need to incessantly talk. Thank goodness for the MUTE button!
They're both great people. They're role models. Also, a plastic surgery is and has always been a choice. If someone doesn't like it, he or she should just avoid undergoing it themselves. There's no need to get frustrated just because other people have undergone it and enjoy their new or improved looks.
You are avery nice and polite person.
You two make a beautiful couple!

Janet Evans is the author of Janet Evans' Total Swimming.
Janet Evans, three-time Olympian and four-time individual Olympic gold medalist, is considered the greatest female distance swimmer of all time. By age 11, she was setting national age-group records, and in 1987 she set world records in the 400-, 800-, and 1,500-meter freestyle. At the 1988 Olympics, her first, she won gold medals in the 400- and 800-meter freestyle and the 400-meter individual medley. She captured gold again at the 1992 Olympics in the 800-meter freestyle and took silver in the 400-meter freestyle. After her 1988 performance, Evans continued to dominate the American and world distance scene. She became the first woman ever to win back-to-back Olympic and World Championship titles in any event, adding the 1991 and 1994 World titles to her Olympic golds in the 800-meter freestyle.
Evans was named the Female World Swimmer of the Year by Swimming World magazine in 1987, 1989, and 1990, and she won the Sullivan Award (top amateur athlete in the United States) in 1989. At the end of her career, she held six U.S. records, three world records, five Olympic medals (including four gold), and 45 U.S. national titles. She won the 400- and 800-meter free at the U.S. National Championships 12 times each, the most national titles in one event by any swimmer in the 100-year history of the event.
Evans' Olympic career ended in 1996, when she was honored with the prestigious task of passing the Olympic torch to Muhammad Ali, who lit the cauldron. She still holds world records in the 800- and 1,500-meter freestyle, both of which are the longest-standing records in the sport. Her record in the 400-meter freestyle held for 18 years until it was broken in May 2006. Since her retirement, Evans has been a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate spokesperson for companies such as AT&T, Speedo, Campbell's, PowerBar, John Hancock, Cadillac, and Xerox. Evans also conducts youth swim clinics and hosts the Janet Evans Invitational Swim Meet, which is now in its 14th year.

An Update on Gender Diagnoses, as the DSM-5 Goes to Press.
December 5, 2012 7 Comments
On December 1, the Board of Trustees for the American Psychiatric Association approved the final draft of the fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The most controversial DSM revision in more than three decades, the DSM-5 has drawn strong concerns, ranging from overdiagnosis and overmedication of ordinary everyday behaviors to poor diagnostic reliability in field trials. The transgender-specific categories of Gender Identity Disorder (GID) and Transvestic Fetishism (TF) have been especially contentious, beginning with the 2008 appointment of Drs. Kenneth Zucker and Raymond Blanchard of the Toronto Centre for Addiction and Mental Illness (CAMH) to lead the workgroup for sexual and gender identity disorders. They were key authors of the prior DSM-IV gender diagnoses and leading proponents of punitive gender conversion/reparative psychotherapies (no longer considered ethical practice in the current WPATH Standards of Care).
There are two major issues in transgender diagnostic policy. The first is a false stereotype that stigmatizes gender identities or expressions that differ from birth sex assignment with mental disease and sexual deviance. The second is access to medically necessary hormonal and/or surgical transition care, for those trans and transsexual people who need them. This access requires some kind of diagnostic coding, but not the current "disordered gender identity" label, which actually contradicts rather than supports medical transition care. It is necessary to address both issues together, to avoid harming one part of the trans community to benefit another.
Some of the proposed gender-related revisions in the DSM-5 are positive, however they do not go nearly far enough. The Gender Identity Disorder category (intended by its authors to mean "disordered" gender identity) is renamed to Gender Dysphoria (from a Greek root for distress) Though widely misreported today as "removal" of GID from the classification of disorders, this name change is in itself a significant step forward. It represents a historic shift from gender identities that differ from birth assignment to distress with current sex characteristics or assigned gender role as the focus of the problem to be treated. This message is reinforced by the August 2012 Public Policy Statement from the American Psychiatric Association affirming the medical necessity of hormonal and/or surgical transition care. Moreover, the sexual/gender disorders workgroup has stated a desire to move gender diagnoses away from the sexual dysfunctions and paraphilias group. (At this time of writing, it is not yet clear where they will be classified in the DSM-5.)
On the negative side, the proposed diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria still contradict social and medical transition and describe transition itself as symptomatic of mental illness. The criteria for children are particularly troubling, retaining much of the archaic sexist language of the DSM-IV that pathologizes gender nonconformity rather than distress of gender dsyphoria. Moreover, children who have socially transitioned continue to be disrespected by misgendering language in the diagnostic criteria and dimensional assessment questions. There is very plainly no exit from the diagnosis for those who have completed transition and are happy with their bodies and lives. In other words, the only way to exit the GD label, once diagnosed, is to follow the course of gender conversion/reparative therapies, designed to shame trans people into the closets of assigned birth roles. While supportive care providers will continue to make the diagnosis work for their clients, intolerant clinicians will exploit contradictory language in the diagnostic criteria to deny transition care access and promote unethical gender conversion treatments.
A worse problem in the DSM-5 is the Transvestic Disorder (formerly Transvestic Fetishism) category. It is punitive and scientifically capricious— designed to punish nonconformity to assigned birth roles. It has been expanded to stigmatize even more gender-diverse people and should be removed entirely from the DSM.
Despite retention of the unconscionable Transvestic Disorder category, I believe that the Gender Dysphoria category revisions in the DSM-5 will bring some long-awaited forward progress to trans and transsexual people facing barriers to social and medical transition. I hope that much more progress will follow. In the longer term, I would like to see a non-psychiatric classification in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD, published by the World Health Association) for access to medical transition treatments for those who need them.

As pastor of St. Teresa of Avila Parish in Washington, Msgr. Ray East knows what it takes to create a welcoming, enthusiastic parish. And, as the parish has a large African American membership, East also knows how much black spirituality can contribute to the life of the community.
In these excerpts from an interview we conducted with him for our March 2014 issue, East discusses the life of the black Catholic Church and what we all can gain from it.
Could you talk about the experience of the black Catholic Church today?
In the United States, our experience as black Catholics is a minority within a minority. African Americans are about 18 percent of the American population. Within the larger population we're a small and increasingly smaller group. Within the African American community, though, as Catholics we're even smaller. There are probably a million African American Catholics. When you add Haitian Catholics and others from the Caribbean it brings up almost another million. And now one of the fastest growing groups is African Catholics. So when you look at the diaspora you get about three million black Catholics. But even that is a very small part of the 63 million Catholics.
But what the African diaspora brings to the Catholic faith is what we got from our roots, what we took from the motherland. You see it in Sister Thea Bowman's beautiful introductory in the Lead Me, Guide Me hymnal. She talks about holistic spirituality. It affects the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
Our spirituality is concrete. It's connected to reality. It has to be real. You say, "I couldn't have a religion that I couldn't feel. I wouldn't have a religion that's not real." It has to be welcoming and unitive, in the sense that no part of the family—the human family—is left out.
There's this energy of welcome and inclusion. And it has to be spirit-built. Black Catholic spirituality has to be spirit-built. Meaning that it has to have the presence of the Holy Spirit, expressed in a variety of ways.
What else does the African diaspora bring to the church?
Instead of being formed in one separate mold, we're able to bring together elements that might not seem to fit together, usually. It's like a syncopation. It's a complex rhythm, and very much at home with a lot of diverse elements coming together. Instead of that causing tension, it causes synergy and harmony.
It's a harmony that comes from diversity. Then there's always the passion for justice that comes out of that. Those elements of African American spirituality, of African American Catholic spirituality, have deep African roots. So when we think about these, when we reflect on them, they go back. That's what we hold in common with the African diaspora.
Though people are from the Caribbean, from Africa, and from the United States, they come together and they see so much in common. They see the need to build bridges. But those elements of black spirituality really are distinct. Pope Paul VI said it, when he made his first visit to Africa. It's been echoed by Pope John Paul II and echoed by Pope Benedict: enrich the church with your gift of Africanness.
That gift is welcome. This is a story I tell: Somebody in a group went over to Rome during the African Senate. While they were there, someone said, "You're going to be singing 'Amazing Grace' or one of these songs. Holy Father likes to keep things kind of calm. So we don't want any expressions."
They start singing "Amazing Grace" in a very strict choral. Then somebody just broke out singing it the way that it would be sung. All of a sudden, they see the Holy Father start smiling, he starts tapping his toe and encouraging everybody. From then on, it was this wonderful eruption of joy. That's what we mean when we say, "That's a gift." African American spirituality and African spirituality is a gift for the whole church.
How can a parish tap into that value and richness if maybe they don't have an African community, but they want to bring that gift into their parish?
That's a great question. Often times people say, "We don't have any of those people in our church." What we say is, "They're out there. Would they feel welcome if they came to your parish?" That's the thing. Why do we do this? We do it because we're Catholic, with a big C. As the Roman Catholic Church, but also a church connected with 23 eastern churches, all in union. And we do it because we're catholic with a small c; we're a universal church. This is a real commandment. It's part of Jesus' command to go preach to all nations: Start in Jerusalem, with what the parish already knows. Go to Judea, to your neighborhood. Then go to Samaria, where there was a different culture, a different way of worshipping, and even a different language or dialect.
And then go to the whole world. If Jesus gave us that progression of the spread of the gospel, then we should really be applying it to everything we do. With parishes that maybe aren't experienced in that, get a sister parish in town, across town. Go out of your way to welcome people who are different than the predominant culture of the parish.
Do things together, pray together. Jack Jezreel would say, "Work outside of church together." Do the works of justice and mercy, outside. Then celebrate that when you come into church and worship. Eat together. The parish that welcomes eats together. We learn to build bridges by food. That's one of the best ways we do it.
Children are the best ambassadors. They have the freedom to go forth and to be spontaneous, without putting all the kinds of censorship that we put on ourselves, as we get older. Children are the ones who can learn other languages. Children are the ones who are trilingual and tri‑cultural, who can move easily in different groups, who can build bridges between their parents. Especially when their parents are from different cultures who don't speak the same languages. It's the children that can do that. I think that approach is so important to the sharing of the incredible cultural heritage that we have.
And just keep reminding yourself, the birth of our church, when the birth waters broke, it was at Pentecost, when the whole known world, the whole Jewish diaspora was gathered. That's the birthday of our church. It's the signature, the hallmark of what it is to be Catholic.

Oak Creek Sikhs among guests at White House event
Temple president visited Washington Tuesday
Members of the Oak Creek Sikh (seek) temple were among the guests at a White House event honoring the founder of Sikhism.
The temple president and five relatives of the dead and injured visited Washington on Tuesday. First lady Mitchell Obama offered consoling words and hugged family members, just as she did in Oak Creek following the August massacre.
Rajwant Singh chairs the Sikh Council on Religion and Education. He also attended and thanked Obama for her support of the Sikh community.
A white supremacist killed six Sikh worshippers at the temple and injured four other people before taking his own life.
Among those killed was the former temple president. His son couldn't go to Washington because he's preparing to take his father's ashes to India next week.

The dynamic Serbian capital of Belgrade is a city of colorful contrasts, where many magnificent medieval sites still stand to this day. One of the best ways to take in the city's romantic skylines, with its outline of centuries-old fortresses and towers, is by cruising down the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
A pleasant stroll in Belgrade often means exploring authentic medieval cobblestoned streets and alleyways.

If you made it through all 656 pages of Walter Isaacson's official biography of Steve Jobs, you might feel there's little more to add. However, author Brent Schlender (who covered Steve Jobs throughout his career for the Wall Street Journal and Fortune) may have more of Jobs's own words to expand an already sprawling story.
Schlender recently turned up three dozen tapes of interviews conducted with Jobs over the last 25 years. Some he said he never listened to, and some had never been transcribed. Put in the perspective of Jobs's death last October, Schlender said he didn't "fully appreciate the importance" of the time Jobs spent away from Apple, between 1985 and 1997.
"This middle period was the most pivotal of his life," Schlender wrote for Fast Company. "And perhaps the happiest. He finally settled down, married, and had a family. He learned the value of patience and the ability to feign it when he lost it. Most important, his work with the two companies he led during that time, NeXT and Pixar, turned him into the kind of man, and leader, who would spur Apple to unimaginable heights upon his return."
Schlender sprinkles interesting quotes from Jobs throughout his examination of this "wilderness" period in Jobs's life: his comparison of his management style to The Beatles, his insistence that good technology should be invisible to the end user, and a somewhat rare admission that his keen eye for the mass appeal of technology sometimes missed important innovations.
"At PARC, they had 200 computers networked using electronic mail and file servers," Jobs said in 1991. "It was an electronic community of collaboration that they used every day. I didn't see that because I was so excited about the graphical user interface. It's taken me, and to some extent the rest of the industry, a whole decade to finally start to address that second breakthrough—using computers for human collaboration rather than just as word processors and individual productivity tools."
If you're a tech history buff, or merely interested in Jobs the man, be sure to read Schlender's full article, as well as a selection of full quotes from the interviews.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher was thrilled with the way Jameis Winston ran the two-minute drill to win the BCS national championship.
That wasn't the case leading up to the big game.
Fisher says he kicked the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback out of the final practice before the Seminoles left Florida to travel to California.
Fisher says he took issue with how Winston was performing during a two-minute drill and sent the quarterback to the locker room.
"The thing about two-minute that you've got to be real careful of, it's not about you," Fisher said Tuesday. "You can get so involved that you're going to win the game — the key is to use all the weapons around you. He did that in that game."
"The mindset that you have to have, which he had all year, I just saw it drifting," he said.
On Monday night, Winston led the top-ranked Seminoles on an 80-yard drive inside the Rose Bowl. He threw a 2-yard touchdown pass with 13 seconds left to beat No. 2 Auburn 34-31 and finish off a perfect season for Florida State.
Fisher said the two came away from that practice in Florida with a better understanding of each other.
Fisher, however, has the final say.
"It's good to be the king," Fisher said. "He'll be the king one day. When he's in pro ball he might have thrown the coach out. But the thing about it, though, he waited for me to get off the field and we had a long discussion and we had it out. He's an unbelievable guy to be able to process and transition and go right back."
"It was just a point I thought I needed to make to him at the present time as a young guy, and like I say, sometimes you have to be their coach. You can't be their friend," he said.
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher was thrilled with the way Jameis Winston ran the two-minute drill to win the BCS national championship.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

As you can see I have been busy, I finished a dish/face cloth last night it is called Reversible Triangles a interesting one to do only 6 rows to the pattern so a fairly easy one which I needed to do as the evening before we had visitors who stayed overnight so while I was chatting I needed something that I didn't have worry too much about.
I may start another pair of socks but using some yarn I haven't tried yet it feels so soft & I am hoping it knits as well as it feels, these will be for me.
I hope to get a block done as I need to get at least one block done for a swap I do have I think about 6 to do so all the blocks are done but one will keep me on track for now.

Every country in the EU has this, and every country that calls itself democratic pretends to aspire to this.
I think the problems mentioned in this video are that the US is moving away from the standard seperation of powers(legislature, an executive, and a judiciary). Shitty laws will not be apealed, you will not have the right to a fair trail(or any trail). All they have to do is use the T word and they can do whatever they want with you. The judiciary branch is being kept out of the loop for as many things as possible.
As for internet freedoms, ISPs don't want to block sites. They are being forced to block sites, thats quite a difference.(and a dick move)
But not as bad as the huge systematic privacy invasion thats going on. If you use a social network, there are plenty of words that you will often use that'll get you flagged(which means your conversation will get stored in some gov database). If you want to give me a call, our conversation will get recorded, transcribed and then stored for future reference(because I'm a foreigner, so you lose all rights). If you're traveling out of state and have your mobile phone with you, you will get flagged.
All those are automatic and already in place. Now if for some reason someone in lawinforcement wants to target you specificly(for instance if you broke up with his daughter) they can, they don't need a warent, and they don't ever have to mention that they did it. And if someone uses the T word, they can simply skip all that and shoot you.
These things seem like huge problems to me.
And I know you guys have never had fascism, or life under stasi rule. But those memories are still fresh enough here in europe to not want to go there ever again and to always watch out for those signs.
Then encourage other people to fix it! You don't run away (or secede, or start wars) when shit hits the fan, you stay in one place and fix it. There's plenty of brilliant minds that are truly dedicated to the cause, and hacking into/taking down government servers isn't going to help it. What's really going to help the cause is what's going on in the courts right now, or in congress right now. If people were really dedicated to the problem, that's where they'd start.
weekend hacker wrote:Lets all be happy for this. 10% of evil seems high though, I'd like to believe its lower then that. The problem in my opinion would be that it only takes a very small amount to have some serious consequences(ex: bossman sais spy on civilians, the 99 people working under them are simply doing their job. As seems to be the case in the NSA right now, only its a lot more then 99 people). And if I look at those injustices of the past as you say.. the US has been horrible at fixing those things. It seems to have taken decades if not more for it to correct itself. And right now it isn't moving forward but backwards.. I have no idea how they'll somehow change their backwards momentum. Add to that that the political scene has changed, money talks more then it ever has.
Lots of things went backwards before going forwards, for instance; a long time ago, slavery didn't exist. And if it did (in America (~1700)), there was a period of servitude, then the land owner would give the slave land, and the slave would be free. However, quickly it escalated (i.e. went backwards), to a complete shit storm of freedom oppression and abuse, and yet, we, as a country, powered through and stopped it. How? Did the war really help? Well, first off, the war wasn't actually started over slavery, it was started over an issue of counting slaves on the ballet in the south, so no, the war didn't really help. The way it was solved was in the court room and in Congress, which is why I'm advocating people stop thinking that a war would solve our problems, when it quite clearly wouldn't.

I beg to differ.

CHICAGO – A sensor for an automatic braking system was too close to the end of the track to prevent a crash at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, according to a preliminary federal report released Monday.
The National Transportation Safety Board's one-page analysis of the dramatic March 24 crash at the airport's underground station said the Chicago Transit Authority train was travelling at 26 mph when it passed a "trip stop" that activated the emergency braking system.
"Due to the train speed, the distance from the fixed trip stop to the track bumper post was too short to stop the train," according to the report.
More than 30 people were injured when the train slammed into the bumper at the end of the line, hopped onto the platform and scaled an escalator, causing $9.1 million in damage. Authorities have said the timing of the crash, which happened just before 3 a.m., limited the number of injuries because so few people were on the typically busy platform and escalator.
In a statement Monday, the CTA said has taken steps to improve safety, lowering the speed limit for trains entering the O'Hare station to 15 mph. The transit agency also moved the trip stop further back to increase stopping distance.
The driver told NTSB investigators she dozed off in the minutes before the before the crash and had done so on another occasion in February when she overshot another station platform. She had been operating trains for only two months and was an extra-board employee, which means she filled in for other drivers who called in sick or were on vacation.
Her union has said she worked a lot of overtime and was exhausted, a sentiment echoed Monday by the NTSB. The federal agency said the operator had worked nearly 60 hours in the previous week and was working her third-consecutive night shift.
"She told investigators that she had inadequate sleep," the night before the crash, according to the report.
The CTA fired the operator on Friday.
Transit officials said they don't believe her work schedule played a role in the crash, but announced a series of changes that the agency said will make its scheduling guidelines some of the most stringent among the nation's large transit operations.
The investigation into the crash is continuing.

ROTS Pilot Obi Wan with the Clone Wars Battlepack Obi-Wan's head on it looks real good. Slap the Pilot Obi's headset on (little bulky, but as good as it'll ever get IMO), and you have a good AOTC Obi Pilot going there...The heads swap perfectly too btw, no customizing necessary.
Ok, we all know about the Pilot Obi, but I need a better one for my Jedi Starfighter. Any suggestions?Kevin
Well, the one from RotS, Obi as Red Leader is pretty much "it", I think.Really, this is the one Hasbro will never top (well, maybe if they rerelease him with a nice soft goods cloak).

Cruelty-free Tattoo Aftercare Review and Giveaway
All right tatted beauties, y'all are going to love this giveaway from Stay True Organics! Heck, even if you're not sporting any ink (yet), you'll be able to enjoy these products, too!
Although I don't have any tattoos at the moment (but I'm determined to get one before the year's end), I became smitten with Stay True Organics' fabulous skin care products.
The creamy, gentle Fresh Ink Healing Wash ($9) contains tamanu oil (which is a time-honored wound healer), potent anti-microbial herbs like neem and rosemary and calming comfrey root and the petals of several anti-inflammatory, organic flowers. I've been using this as a face wash at night and it totally leaves my skin mosturized and soft. The beautiful lavender scent is so relaxing and is perfect right before beddies. When it is time to finally get some ink, there is no doubt in my mind that I'm going to use these products to help my skin heal.
I also tried the Colorfast Healing & Conditioning Balm ($22), which is meant to heal tattoos faster while maintaining their clarity and color (it revitalizes old tattoos, too!). This balm calms sensitive skin, moisturizes, reduces inflammation, relieves itching, reduces the risk of infection, and minimizes scabbing. It contains Jojoba Oil; Candelilla Wax; Pumpkin Seed Oil; Apricot; Kernel Oil; Rosehip Seed Oil; Red Raspberry Seed Oil; Shea Butter; flowers; herbs and essential oils, making this balm extremely versatile. I've been using it on my elbows and knees, my hands, my lips… it glides on so smoothly and makes me skin feel divine. This is an excellent skin hydrator that will smooth and protect dry, chapped, or sensitive skin and can be used safely from head to toe on a daily basis. It has a delicate chamomile scent which is absolutely lovely. I wish I there was a scratch-n-sniff screen option so I could share these beautiful scents with you.
For your chance to win the Stay True Organics Fresh Ink Healing Wash and Colorfast Healing & Conditioning Balm set, simply leave a comment with your dream tattoo. A winner will be randomly selected and announced on July 9th. Good luck!!!
*UPDATE* Winner of the Stay True Organics Fresh Ink Healing Wash and Colorfast Healing & Conditioning Balm set is Dayna! Congrats!

I have rosacea on the face (redness) and today I received my Zenmed skin support system. I just wanted to tell you about my beginning of the treatment process. I will inform you later about the results.
Been dreaming of a giant Phoenix to cover up some 'skinperfections' I have now that I've lost a bucketload of weight 🙂
My dream tattoo is the next one im getting! 🙂
My dream tattoo is a cat!
I'm getting my dream tattoo in two weeks so this would be killer! Two skulls and crossbones on my shoulders and in an old timey script "never say die" across my chest. A nod to The Goonies :]
I already have a few smallish tattoos, but I'd love to get a full, abstract back piece by Amanda Wachob some day.
I am getting a tribute tattoo for my parents on the back of my neck this Friday. Perfect if I win this awesome healing balm!
I NEED this stuff!! Getting my tattoo colored in a few weeks and this would help my uber sensative skin.
As for my dream tattoo, it was a knitting and craft related chest piece, but since I already have that, I would say a Princess Leia (in slave garb) pin-up! Yup, I'm a giant Star Wars nerd!
I already have a slew of tattoos, but my dream would be to finish up my right arm with more animals!
My dream tatoo is a poppie intertwined with sweet pea flowers just over my heart. These are the birth flowers of my two daughters, nicknamed "Sweet Pea" and "Poppie Girl."
My dream tattoo would be a scene from the end of the world!
I've got a tiny little heart on my shoulder already….but I would love to get a fox tattooed on my forearm- I love Kristofferson Silverfox for The Fantastic Mr. Fox. I wouldn't mind having his likeness on me somewhere. 🙂
"No Lies", on my right wrist and "Just Love" on my left wrist! I want to get it soon!
My dream (and first) tattoo would be to get the paw prints in memory of my first pet rattie who passed 4 years ago. I really want to get it on my foot, because when he wanted to be picked up and cuddled, that's where he would run to. And perhaps something to also remember each little one that has passed since.
dream tattoo–> a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables spilling down my arm mixed with a variety of flowers, birds and insects.
my dream tattoo is a giant waterlily on my back… i'm in the planning stages so this would be perfect!
These products look awesome btw!
I want a sleeve with bright colors representing my veganism.
I've been thinking about getting one little star tattoo in memory of each cat companion I have. So far there would only be one, but somehow, a tattoo seems like an appropriate way to remember all the kitty friends who touched my life.
I've been dying to get a henna-ish leaf on my shoulder blade. My fiance has a pretty sweet tattoo on his back, too ^_^
I really want a colorful bird or butterfly!
Well, my sleeve was probably what I would consider my dream tattoo, but my next tattoo will be a portrait of my dog, Strummer! I'm also going to get a tribute to my Nana.
I need this stuff so I can get my tattoo. 🙂
I've been brainstorming the design of my next tattoo and it would be awesome to have these products when I actually get the work done.

Walmart's lobbyists are sneaking around looking for possible locations across the five boroughs. Instead of being honest about its intentions, the retailer is pushing a PR campaign to try and clean-up its contaminated image in order to win approval.
We can't allow this to work.
As the chair of the Women's Issues committee in the New York City Council, I am deeply troubled by Walmart's terrible record with women. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing Walmart over allegations of sexual harassment of, and discrimination against, female employees.
The average woman working at Walmart, if they are permitted to work full-time, earns a salary so low that it puts her family below the poverty level. Many female employees at Walmart use food stamps in order to feed their families.
And according to the National Organization of Women, Walmart's ineffective health insurance plan does not provide contraceptive coverage - an essential part of many women's health needs.
The implications of having a Walmart store in our city are very clear: poverty-wage jobs, destruction of local small businesses, increased pollution, and streets clogged with traffic.
Walmart has a business model that relies on low wages, substandard benefits and anti-competitive behavior. They've destroyed countless neighborhood stores across the country with this business model, and its made their owner billionaires many times over.
Walmart claims they'll treat New Yorkers differently - that they'll pay more, treat workers better and generally not behave like they have in every other community across the country.
If you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Do they really expect us - savvy New Yorkers - to believe that if we let Walmart get their foot in the door of the greatest city in the world they won't do what they've done everywhere else? The truth is Walmart refuses to reveal its starting wages or agree to allow stores to unionize.
We have a real opportunity at Willets Point. We can make it an incredible site that all New Yorkers can enjoy. It can enhance living standards for our community, and with the right businesses, create hundreds of new jobs with wages that will allow families to support themselves.
Our community does not need a big-box, low-road employer that puts profits before people. We should strive to make Willets Point an example for other development sites throughout the city by taking into account what local residents want and ensuring their best interests our first priority.
Walmart refuses to meet with community members, leaders, and elected officials to discuss its plans. It's time for the company to come clean with its intentions and stop sneaking around.
If it doesn't have anything to hide, then what is it so afraid of?
The plan for Willets Point moving forward must be sustainable, fair, and provide long-term economic growth for our community. With the help of my colleagues on the City Council, I am determined to make sure Walmart has no entryway into Willets Point, or any other development site in the city.

4-wheelin in the desert
Last week, a neighbor from back home and a fellow snowbird showed me an adventure I have never before experienced.
I was invited to go four-wheelin' on the Arizona desert.
Three parties met at a remote staging area just north of Florence. We unloaded the four-wheelers and planned the day.
I was given a choice. Either I would wear a kerchief over my nose and mouth, or I would wear one of those medical-looking dust masks.
Why? Because you don't want to get valley fever. Apparently, there is a fungus in the soil in the desert which gets in your lungs and can cause you enough grief to make think you're going to die.
I knew there was risk involved with off-roading, but I didn't think the risk was of disease! So, I wore a kerchief.
Next, I was given some nice batting gloves. Early in the day, the wind would make for cold fingers, and later in the day I might develop blisters from gripping the handle bar so tight.
The vehicle was a side-by-side, which means it had two seats. I had a handlebar to grip which gave me stability and allowed me to think I was steering.
As we roared into the desert, I was impressed by the quality of the four-wheeler's suspension. When we approached an embedded boulder which stuck up out of the trail a foot, I gripped the handle bar as if my life depended upon it.
We roared over that rock at twenty-five miles-per-hour and didn't feel a thing.
The driver was an expert. I decided that since he had been riding these trails weekly for eleven winters and was still alive he probably wouldn't kill either of us this trip.
So, I leaned back and enjoyed the scenery.
Cactus whipped past. Prickly mesquite brushed the roll bar. Just when the trail seemed to straighten out, we would dive over the edge of a ravine, sending my stomach north.
We crawled up from the flat desert into the mountains. The terrain became rougher, and the trails grew more crowded.
We met dozens of other four-wheelers. All were polite about sharing the trail. Most everybody we talked to was from the Midwest.
Then we started seeing Jeeps and other four-wheel drive outfits. They came in caravans of five or more. One group had a train of nine jeeps. Three of them had only one occupant. No carpooling.
We stopped for lunch at an abandoned gold mine. The place was packed with Midwesterners. We talked farmland prices.
It occurred to me that this was a bunch of transplanted snowmobilers.
As we went deeper into the mountains, we crawled right up the side of a couple of peaks, then went over and straight down the other side. No switchbacks to level things out.
By now, my stomach was immune.
We stopped and shut off the rigs at the top of the highest mountain. You could see a network of trails in all directions and could hear the caravans of jeeps and four-wheelers rumbling up and down the mountains and through the dry riverbeds.
A little later, we entered Box Canyon. The trail was a narrow stream bed which snaked between red cliffs. Dozens of jeeps and four-wheelers vied for space.
We visited with a group of North Dakotans who pointed out a group of five mountain sheep high on the cliffs. Others gathered and passed around binoculars to get a better view.
By now, I was getting worn out and I hadn't even been driving. Just hanging on was work enough.
The desert sun got hot. Because we were in the lead, the air I breathed was pretty clear. So, I wrapped the kerchief around my head, figuring that the risk of valley fever was lower than the risk of fried baldness.
After burning the carbon out on the home stretch, we pulled into the staging area and loaded up. We had put on sixty miles. We were covered in dust.
"Are you going to go out and get a rig?" one of the others asked me, wondering if I was hooked.
I didn't say it, but there is no chance.
I was in the hands of an expert and experienced driver. If I were behind the wheel, one false move and I would be impaled by one of those really nasty cactus.
Every few hundred yards, the trails split. I don't know how anybody knew where we were or where we were going. I can just see myself lost as the sun set and the temperatures in the dry desert air plummeted to their night-time lows.
It was great fun, but some times one time is good enough!

BAYOU CORNE, LA (WAFB) - According to the Assumption Parish Police Jury website, the giant Louisiana sinkhole in Assumption Parish swallowed 25 more trees Monday night.
The slough-in happened along the southeastern side of the sinkhole. Also, a new crack, running parallel to the sinkhole edge, was observed on the Oxy 3 well pad access ramp to the sinkhole.
The website states: "Experts with Conservation and CB&I believe the slough-in event is linked to the period of elevated subsurface fluid and gas movement detected late last week in the area around the sinkhole and Oxy 3, as has been observed in previous similar events. At this time, the Oxy3/sinkhole monitoring alert status remains at Code 1, allowing work around the sinkhole to continue, as the slough-in appears to be related to the earlier subsurface activity – however, monitoring is constantly ongoing in the area and Conservation will advise the public of significant changes in subsurface conditions."
On March 13, Texas-Brine, a Houston based company which owns the salt dome that caused the sinkhole, announced they would begin assessing the homes and offering buyouts and settlements for the 350 people evacuated.
Bubbles were spotted in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou in June 2012. Two months later, the ground opened up and left a nine acre sinkhole. Residents were evacuated and have been for the past seven months. Most affected residents began receiving weekly checks from Texas-Brine in the amount of $875 per week. The sinkhole is now about 12 acres in size.
